Time-To-Value Solutions Using Monolith

OpenWater Solutions (aka OWS) is focused at delivering effective management solutions to every customer that relies upon IT in order for their business to function. One of the key factors preventing many organizations from implementing a management & monitoring solution is the apparent lack of immediate value of deploying a solution. Many solutions are so complex they can take at least 6 months to prove the value and ROI of a monitoring and management solution. OWS addresses this need with the highly capable and feature rich Time-To-Value reference monitoring solution.

OWS has developed a powerful solution reference architecture centered on Monolith and Nimsoft that is sure to keep the current market leaders of monitoring awake at nights. This solution provides end-to-end management capabilities and features that are on par with the million dollar solutions that are being marketing from the Big Four. Working with our engineers and partners we have created a standard solution set for a complete infrastructure monitoring solution that can be deployed in weeks, not months.

Solution Overview
